Greek Starter Recipes
GREEK STARTER
This is served at our neighborhood Greek restaurant as soon as you sit down at the table. I've tried my best to duplicate it. Had to figure it out as DD wants it everytime she comes home to visit....and the restaurant is closed during holiday when she is here!! Measurements are estimated, as I always just eyeball the ingredients. More oil is always better....more juice for the bread! :)

Steps:
- Combine the feta cheese and the olives.
- Drizzle the garlic infused oil over the mix, until it looks juicy and perfect for dipping your bread into.
- Spray a skillet with olive oil baking spray, or pour enough olive oil in the skillet to just coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat. Warm your pita bread in the skillet. Remove, and cut into quarters. Repeat with the other piece of pita bread. (When desperate, I've seen this eaten with yeast rolls. lol).
- Serve the bread warm from the skillet with the feta cheese mix. The feta cheese/olive mix should be at room temperature or just slightly warmer. You don't want the olive oil congealed, so if made ahead of time, zap it at 50% in the microwave to knock the chill off of it. It's almost like Greek crostini!

21 EASY GREEK APPETIZERS (FOR PARTIES, MEZE PLATTERS & MORE!)
From scrummylane.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Greek salad (Horiatiki salata) A Greek salad isn’t traditionally an appetizer, but it certainly is one of the most traditional dishes in Greek cuisine.
- Greek chicken meatballs. These Greek chicken meatballs are incredibly versatile. Serve as an appetizer with fresh pita bread and a simple Greek lettuce salad (maroulosalata), or pop onto cocktail sticks and hand around at a party with a simple dip such as tzatziki sauce.
- Greek spinach and feta filo pie (spanakopita) No Greek appetizer spread would be complete without a traditional spanakopita (spinach and cheese pie)… or two, or three!
- Mini Spinach and feta filo parcels with tzatziki. If it’s easy Greek finger foods you’re looking for, you’ll love these cute little filo pies with all the flavors of your favorite classic spanakopita inside!
- Feta filo pies with honey. This is a filo pie with a difference. A true Greek meze dish, just as perfect for sharing on a terrace at sunset as huddled around a roaring fire in the winter.
- Mini mushroom filo pies. Been asked to take a plate of food to a party? These mini mushroom pies are perfect since you can make them ahead. They’re crispy, delicious little bites with a burst of creamy, mushroom-y flavor in the middle.
- Tiropitakia (mini feta cheese triangles) These are a mini crowd pleasing version of one of Greece’s best known snack foods – tiropita, or feta cheese pies.
- Greek quesadillas. I bet you’ve never heard of Greek-Mex! The filling in these delicious vegetarian quesadillas is similar to what you’d find inside a traditional Greek spanakopita (spinach and feta pie).
- Greek chicken wings (or drumsticks!) If you always go for the chicken wings first at a party, you’ve got to try these easy Greek chicken wings from the amazing blog Recipe Tin Eats.
- Greek nachos. Imagine a Greek salad… on top of a plate of nachos. Drizzle with tsatziki dip or Greek yogurt and you have a pretty cool appetizer plate that’s just a little bit different.
20 TRADITIONAL GREEK APPETIZERS - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
4.3/5 (6)Published Jul 1, 2021Category Appetizers, Recipe Roundup
- Spanakopita. Spanakopita is one of my personal favorites. To try this mix of flaky pastry and creamy spinach is to love it, trust me. This classic appetizer consists of a dreamy, gooey spinach and feta filling encased in buttery phyllo pastry.
- Greek Meze Platter. The best Greek chefs can pull together a loaded meze platter in minutes. Full of tasty morsels like meats, cheeses, spreads, and breads, it’s a mix and match meal that hits the spot.
- Greek Layer Dip. Dips make great apps. Not only can you make up a giant bowl with very little effort, they’re also guaranteed party pleasers. They’re ideal for game days and backyard BBQs.
- Feta and Greek Yogurt Pita Appetizer. This fun appetizer is what happens when two great cuisines collide and Greek pita meets Italian pizza. Soft, floury pitas are topped with a creamy mix of feta and yogurt.
- Greek Stuffed Cucumber Bites. If you’re looking for a light, low-carb appetizer that delivers both taste and healthy goodness, look no further! These cucumber bites are a refreshing taste of summer that’s ready in just 15 minutes.
- Greek Salad Skewers. Salad skewers are what I make for summer dinner parties when I want it to look like I’ve labored over dinner (when I actually sat around all afternoon watching daytime repeats).
- Greek Bruschetta. Bruschetta is an Italian favorite, but it gets a Greek spin here. The essential elements are the same – crusty bread, tomato-based topping – but there’s a definite Greek influence with hummus, tzatziki, and feta.
- Greek Puff Pastry Appetizers With Kalamata Olives. These pillowy parcels are fluffy, buttery bits of yum. Filled with a mixture of kalamata olives, red bell pepper, fresh oregano, feta, and spinach, they’re not just irresistible, they’re also packed with healthy antioxidants.
- Greek Meatballs. Bursting with big, bold flavors, these are not your average meatballs. Ground lamb is seasoned with lemon zest, oregano, and feta before being rolled into a ball and flash-fried until golden.
- Feta Dip Phyllo Cups. I love the look of these cute pastry cups, but I love the taste even more. Flaky pastry shells are stuffed with a creamy mix of feta, tomato, onion, basil, and garlic.
4 QUICK-AND-EASY GREEK APPETIZER RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Dakos: Rusks With Tomatoes and Cheese. Almost too quick and easy to be called a "recipe," dakos, often called Greek bruschetta, is a signature dish on the Greek island of Crete and is a favorite served with drinks, from beer to raki to wine.
- Olive Tapenade (Spread) This quick blender olive tapenade recipe is made with black or green Greek olives and has a tart taste in comparison with the rest of the appetizers in this list.
- Saganaki: Fried Greek Cheese. Greeks do love their cheeses and this saganaki dish is one of the most popular. It's made with graviera cheese that is dredged in flour and sautéed in a pan.
- Tzatziki: Yogurt, Cucumber, and Garlic Dip or Spread. The most well-known of Greek appetizers, tzatziki is great as a dip with pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers, or just eaten to accompany other foods like grilled meats or gyros.
